Iatrogenic injury in childhood staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome

JOURNAL OF PAEDIATRICS AND CHILD HEALTH, Issue 1 2003
SA Holme
Abstract: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) may cause significant morbidity in children. It is common practice for adhesive occlusive dressings to be used to apply topical local anaesthetic prior to venepuncture. We report two cases in which removal of these dressings from children with SSSS caused injury and discomfort in areas previously free from blistering. We recommend that an alternative method of topical anaesthetic application is used to minimize skin trauma in these patients. [source]

Vulvar Disease in Children: A Clinical Audit of 130 Cases

PEDIATRIC DERMATOLOGY, Issue 1 2000
Gayle Fischer M.D.
Of the patients, 41 (33%) had atopic or irritant dermatitis, 23 (18%) had lichen sclerosus, 21 (17%) had psoriasis, 15 (12%) had vulvar lesions, most often hemangiomas and nevi, and 13 (10%) had streptococcal vulvovaginitis. Diagnoses less frequently seen were staphylococcal folliculitis (four patients), labial fusion (three patients), genital warts (two patients), molluscum contagiosum of the vulva only (one patient), vulvar bullous pemphigoid (two patients), scabies nodules (one patient), erythema annulare centrifugum (one patient), tinea (two patients), and vitiligo (one patient). We also encountered vulvar presentations of systemic diseases (varicella, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, and Henoch,Schönlein purpura, all one patient each). We did not see candidal vulvovaginitis in this age group nor did we encounter bacterial infection with pathogens other than Staphylococcus aureus and S. pyogenes. [source]
